At the organizer's request, I called Hull's Victory at the Rochester, Vermont contra evening on Thursday, August 16th -- to great music by The Turning Stile (Joanne Garton and organizer Aaron Marcus). Thanks, David, for bringing the dance's (and naval victory's) 200th anniversary to our attention! Val Val Medve Essex, Vermont valandtom(a)myfairpoint.net

Re: [Callers] Hull's Victory

by David.Millstone＠VALLEY.NET

Good for you, Chris! With Crowfoot providing the music, I'm sure the crowd responded with enthusiasm. I read in this morning's paper that the USS Constitution was going to take a sail around Boston Harbor, ony the second time in more than 100 years that this would take place. A momentous day in many ways! Thanks for letting me know. I'd be interested to know what else you put on your program. David

tempo

by Tom Hinds

Rich Sbardella said: Some songs "sound" fast at 120 and some songs sound slow at 128.? This sound sometimes confuses dancers.? I'd be curious to know if the perception of tempo is influenced by the busyness of the tune or how it's played. Does a tune sound faster if it's notey? Does a less notey tune sound slower? Tom

Re: [Callers] appropriate tempos

by tavi merrill

This may be slightly off topic, since i know nothing about MWSD, and i don't have exact tempo figures to share, but an observation - i've noticed recently that one of the moves in contra dance that is particularly sensitive to tempo issues is the hey, particularly when followed by a move like long waves balance & ROM. (You might notice this in dances such as "Rant & Roar" by Russell Owen and "Groovemongers Contra" by Don Flaherty). For ROM wave balances to work well, the tempo must be such that they can complete the hey and form waves ready to balance on the down beat of the next phrase. Conversely, particularly in a dance where a hey is followed by a balance & swing, when a tempo is too slow, dancers may finish a hey with a couple extra beats to spare before the balance. When there are live musicians involved, it strikes me that, whatever the starting tempo, musicians can respond to the dancers (and if they don't notice, callers can make sure they do) - particularly noting whether people are repeatedly late or early for the next move after a hey - or if dancers arrive early to a progression figure or appear to be rushing, all signs that the tempo needs adjustment.

Appropriate Tempos

by Dugan Murphy

Callers, What is your experience working with bands to establish an appropriate tempo? Do bands ever ask you what tempo you want? Do you ever request a particular tempo to fit a dance? Do you communicate tempo requirements numerically (beats per minute) or maybe by tapping your feet? When are slower tempos appropriate and when are faster ones appropriate? What do you consider to be the range in beats per minute that is appropriate for contra? Some preliminary research told me that a range of 112-120 beats per minute is appropriate. Do you agree? I've called with maybe 20-25 bands in my young calling career and only 2 have asked me for guidance or confirmation concerning the tempo of their music (both bands play primarily for non-contra audiences, I believe). I told both bands to use their judgment, which produced satisfactory results in all cases except one dance in which the band misunderstood my request for a sultry/flirty tune to mean that they should play at about half the tempo one would normally expect for contra, which proved terribly confusing for the dancers. The lesson I learned is that I ought to know more about the range of tempo that is expected for contra and what tempos are appropriate when so that I can provide that information to bands when asked. -- Dugan Murphy Cincinnati, Ohio http://caller.duganmurphy.com <http://www.linkedin.com/in/duganmurphy>

Re: [Callers] Celebrating Caller Brad Foster, CDSS Executive Director Emeritus

On Sunday, August 26, at Pinewoods English Week, the CDSS Board and the English Dance Week community are going to hold a celebration of Brad Foster's 28 Years as Executive and Artistic Director of CDSS. It is called Bravo Brad. Because the number of folks allowed at Pinewoods is limited, only registered campers, staff members, Pinewoods crew, and a small number of invited guests can attend. However, there still are ways you can participate in Bravo Brad. You can write a note to Brad, sharing memories of the times you've spent together. You can send a photo showing Brad in action as Executive Director, traveling contra & ECD caller, musician, dancer, singer. You can put together a scrap book page, combining messages, photos, poems, stickers, sketches, musical compositions... The possibilities are endless. I've been collecting notes, photos, and scrapbook materials for a while now, and will continue to do so till the end of English Week, when we'll begin the process of creating the scrapbook. Between now and September 3rd, I'd love to get scrapbook contributions from you. Here's where to send your contributions: Snail Mail: Bravo Brad, c/o Sharon Green, 6103 Harwood Avenue, Oakland CA, 94618 E-mail: sharongreen(a)post.harvard.edu Thanks for your help!

Re: [Callers] mentorship

by David.Millstone＠valley.net

Ron wrote, "One of the biggest challenges is learning dances. A library of shared dances would be invaluable." I'll call folks' attention to a resource that's been mentioned here before, the detailed syllabi from the Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend: http://www.library.unh.edu/special/index.php/ralph-page-dance-legacy-weekend The whole collection contains hundreds of dances-- mostly contras, as well as squares, triplets, dances in odd formations, chestnuts, new compositions. Each dance is carefully notated, and there is frequently backgroun information to round out the interested caller's knowledge. Some dances are easier, suitable for mixed crowds, and some are more complex. (Occasionally, the syllabus editor, David Smukler, will add a cautionary note that clues in the reader that this particular dance may be more complicated than it appears.) All in all, this is a superb resource for callers both experienced and those newer to the mic. I think it's the best collection available on the web. > - I'd love a list of every dance everywhere, divided by region, with listings >of address, organizers, contact info, links to websites, and their policies toward >callers. (does this resource exist?) Don't think you'll find the "policies toward callers" but there are several excellent resources that do the rest: * http://www.contradancelinks.com/ * http://www.neffa.org/Top/Folk_Dancing/Contras/Dances/index.shtml * http://tedcrane.com/dancedb/ * http://www.thedancegypsy.com/ * http://www.contracorners.net/contra/links/dancemap.html Hope this helps.
